Getting error

Archiver

I am using "stampbc v1.2.2, compiler using PARALLAX tokenizer library
1.16" on a Linux 2.4.18 i586 slackware box. /dev/ttyS0 is set to:
speed 9600 baud; line = 0;
min = 1; time =1;
-brkint -icrnl -imaxbel
-opost
-isig -icannon -echo

My basic stamp 2 SX is plugged into /dev/ttyS0 on a lynxmotion next
step carrier board, and there is power to it, it is running a
previously loaded program. When I "basicbc -j" though, is takes a
second or so and returns "** no stamp or unable to identify", and the
stamp resets (I can tell because of the LCD screen hooked up to it).

Thank you for any help, I am at my wit's end.

hi
I assume your board and serial cable use to work well under windows
or so and are thus considered ok so far.

However, you say stampbc returns after a second, so I think 'time'
should be 0 (your settings show time = 1, which is probably to short
for the stamp).

try the following serial port setup:
stty -F /dev/ttyS0 9600 raw -echo -hupcl

or use the 'showtty' utility (just a more convenient 'stty') and
enter:
9600 raw -echo -hupcl

'raw' allone should set the time back to 0, but just use the full
setup parameters.

hope this helps
